- The best things to do and eat in the Fuji Five Lakes region in Japan. The Fuji Five Lakes region is one of the best places in the world to see Mount Fuji, which is an iconic symbol of Japan. The lakes offer stunning views of the mountain, especially in the morning and evening. The Fuji Five Lakes region is home to many traditional Japanese villages and towns. In this travel vlog we spend two days in the Fuji Five Lakes region, and we'll share with you everything we did and ate.

I love that we almost got an appearance from OCGirl! 🥰 Also your editor is killing it, love it!! The princess is such a cute silly girl!! Thank you so much for such a fun video!!
Thanks CottageFullOfLove! And yes. Yusaku did a great job on this one!
This is somewhere I would like to go on a future trip to Japan. I'm looking forward to your video on driving in Japan!
Thanks Derek! Coming soon!
beautiful Mt. Fuji. love it., Princess is so cute.
Thank you very much!
The view of the place is just epic!
Lovely
That whole area looks absolutely beautiful especially during cherry blossom season. Everything looked very peaceful there even with the crowds at some of the lakes.
Indeed.. kind of like out of a fairy tale 😀
You’re so lucky you picked the best day with a perfect weather. When I went to Fuji Yoshida the Mt Fuji was hidden behind the clouds and we couldn’t see it🥲
I love your channel btw, cheers from Japan 😊
Thanks! And yes. We got super lucky!
GREAT VIDEO THANKS
You are welcome! 😀
Japan is absolutely stunning and I'm sad that I haven't made it there for travel yet 😭🤷🏻♀️
V v beautiful vid and ur Daughter love it
Thank you so much 😊
This is great. I lived in Tokyo and my kids love Royal Host Your dish is what i always "pronounced Hambagu" get and my kids just love the toys. However, we never went to Mt. Fuji. Headed there in October so will try to visit if weather permits.
So it all started because I wanted to generally check what was going on with the SDComicCon 2023...And now I've seen several of your videos. I gets that's how you get hooked on to any addiction...🤣Btw, that trip to Japan seems amazing, which is no surprise, Japan is obviously a stunning country.
Awesome Alejandro and welcome to Yellow Productions! And yes. The trip to Japan was amazing!
Thank you for taking time out of your family holiday to share this magical place with us!
Thanks James!
Wonderful video Chris! Will you be doing a full on review of Marriott Yamanaka? I heard there are very few rooms with Fuji views is that true? Looks like you had an amazing view from your room. Thanks! Looking forward to more Japan content!
Hi Xvader.. yes. Full review of the Marriott coming up. I think most of the rooms on the Fuji side would have some sort of Fuji View. Obviously the top floor (4) on the Fuji side is the best. But then yes. Half of the rooms are on the "wrong" side of the hotel to see Mt Fuji
Hi Chris. Wonderful day trip around the area. Amazing that you all covered a lot in just a day. It was fabulous to see Mt Fuji at Lake Kawagoe on a vert beautiful day. Never gets tired of see it. The crosswalk where it can take a picture of Mt Fuji is unique way to enjoy its beauty. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thanks James! Yeah. We had a busy day! 😀
You, OC girl, and Silly Goose should be tour guides in Japan. You all seem to know the ins and outs of where and what to do.
Thanks Lisa!
A goldmine of info, thanks. I'm planning a trip for cherry blossom season in '24. Once I get fly in, first stop is this very area (using the Mt Fuji Excursion shinkansen). I'm conflicted about hiring a car VS. relying on public transport or the Kawaguchiko sightseeing bus loop. However, my instinct for getting to and around here is a car. There doesn't seem to be an abundance of public transport. After this I travel to Kyoto (which seems a bit tedious to get to from Mt Fuji), so I'm wondering if I should just hire a car once I fly in to make getting to Mt Fuji and Kyoto more doable. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
We rented a car from the airport in Tokyo to do this trip. The public transit is really not great here. So that's what I'd recommend. Rent the car. Use it to get here and from here to Kyoto
How did you get a perfectly un-cloudy view of Mount Fuji?!
It was like this the whole week we were in the region in April. Really lucky
As someone ever told you that you look like Christian horner redbull racing F1 boss ? Would make a hell of a cosplay for halloween 😅
I've heard that once or twice :)
Hi Chris, enjoyed the video, thanks! Quick question, I’m heading to Japan early December and will venture to Fuji then Kyoto as you did, but did you need winter tyres as part of your rental? And which rental company do you recommend? (I’m assuming from your other videos, you are using your credit card tricks ;))
Hi Deano -- We were there in April for this trip... so no winter tires then. You may need them in December. We always rent from Toyota Rental Car -- and yes, you can request winter tires on your car from them. We had to do that a few years ago when we visit Kyushu in winter
@@YellowProductions Thanks for the reply Chris, much appreciated.
Is this a difficult drive to make after getting off of your incoming flight? I’m trying to figure out my itinerary when I go. I’m wondering if I should spend a night in Tokyo to recover from jet lag, or go straight to Fuji 5 lakes.
Probably depends upon alot of things like whether you're flying in to Narita or Haneda and what time you arrive. We flew in to Haneda and spent our first night in Atami.. if you're flying in to Narita I'd suggest overnight in Tokyo
Hi Chris. Isn't it hard to drive a right-hand drive car? How long is the learning curve?
Yeah. There is a learning curve. But I've done it quite a bit now so I don't have it that hard. I'd say you'll adapt after a couple daya
What was the name of the restaurant you ate at in the little white cottage building? We are staying 1 night at the same Marriott in 5 Lakes on our way to Kyoto/Osaka.
Hi Amy -- what was the timestamp of the scene? Want to make sure I give you the correct name 😀
@@YellowProductions 2:04. Thanks!!
Its called "うどんほうとう天野" and this is the address: 4 Chome-11-8 Shinnishihara, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0017, Japan
What month were you there? Looks like March/April? Also, I'm originally from SoCal also :)
April 10 to be exact 😀
Was this April 2023?
Yup! From our most recent trip.
